We are all born in sin, a fact not only accepted but intentionally misinterpreted to accept our current view of self. The one thing that greatly separates us from the animals is the desire to be important.
We accept many stories given to manipulate us into being who we want to become. No one is perfect has stunted our pursuit in becoming perfect. (Perfection being relevant to any given situation at any moment). We are “born in sin” has allowed us to accept we are born sinners, a concept I will explain through contrast in a moment.
“We are what we settle to accept.” Accept we are born sinners allows us to accept we are less than love, good or perfection. We are born sinners allows us to accept our mistakes as our true character. We are born sinners allows us to accept our evils as natural.
Being who I am I challenge the concept that we collectively accept. We reach a level of unconscious action or thought that result in a need of condemnation or reward. We just do, that is natural. We breath, we wake up, we do things for who we know love or work for without thought. Only when we break routine do we carry thought or feeling.
As children, ever notice we know right from wrong even before acknowledgement or punishment. We follow the feelings good or bad. That concept only becomes cloudy when we begin seeking the acknowledgement of others. “We do most for the things in which we are noticed.”
Since we are what we settle for, the time as we hear and then accept we are born sinners, who does that lead us to believe we are. Who do we become? Who do we express? Who do we accept?

Sinning as normal. Very interesting!
What I’m taking from this is that we ought to strive for perfection, even though attaining and maintaining a state of perfection may not be possible. Knowing we aren’t perfect should be more reason to strive for perfection, not used as excuse to sit back, “accept”, and stagnate.
Interesting observation.
Are we born sinners? Or are we born into sin? And what is the definition of sin? Growing up a “church girl” I’ve been exposed to a variety of definitions of sin. Sometimes the difference of meaning was based on the intentions of the minister.
I’m starting to wonder if sin is the opposite of love. If you love yourself and others then these things won’t happen or you would aspire to this, or we wouldn’t have to worry about that. Babies and children are born with love and wanting love and as they navigate the world they begin to become wounded causing them to develop traits, habits and other defense mechanisms to protect themselves or survive which looks like sin.
@Mira I also came to a similar understanding from the Golden Child’s post that although we may have these “sinful” proclivities that doesn’t mean we embrace them as the end all be all instead knowing that we are love, and push past to a higher consciousness or level of understanding to be love in the face of ourselves or others.
Still processing…
The internal conversation is the main spark. What is sin? Anything that goes against self to me is the core of what I believe sin is. I believe we all have a guiding system beginning with doing what feels good and aids progression of self. The concept of being born into or if we are born sinners is the question. If we were born sinners, the act of sin would be a natural act.
To push to act into higher vibrational acts is the start of true expression that will lead us to attain all we want. We have to accept that side of us, the same some have accepted we are “born sinners” to justify the acts of degradation.
